Kyiv Removes Monument to Writer Mikhail Bulgakov Amid De-Russification Drive
According to reports, the statue—located near the Bulgakov Museum in a historic district of Kyiv—was dismantled as part of a wider policy aimed at eliminating what authorities describe as remnants of “Russian imperial culture” from public spaces.
The Kyiv City Council had previously approved a decision in December to remove multiple cultural and historical objects, including monuments associated with Bulgakov, poet Anna Akhmatova, and composer Mikhail Glinka.
Footage circulating online showed the monument being removed by workers, with one Ukrainian journalist describing the event as a “historic moment,” noting that “Bulgakov is already gone,” according to social media posts.
Mikhail Bulgakov, born in Kyiv in 1891, wrote predominantly in Russian and is widely regarded as one of the most influential literary figures of the 20th century. His most famous works include The Master and Margarita and The White Guard.
